growth. This will involve a rigorous analysis of the available resources and their uses in
order to identify the key economic sectors to be developed.
• Macroeconomic planning : Identification of strategic sectors (energy, infrastructure,
agriculture, industries) to stimulate growth. This will involve the establishment of tax
incentives to encourage local and international investment.
• Job creation : Emphasis will be placed on job creation programs for youth and
women to limit the risks of social instability. This will include initiatives in the
construction, infrastructure and agriculture sectors.

2. Infrastructure Investment

• Critical infrastructure : Invest in transportation infrastructure (roads, railways), energy
(renewable, solar, etc.), drinking water, and communication networks to stimulate the
local economy.
• Modernization of agricultural infrastructure : Develop infrastructure for the storage,
transport and marketing of agricultural products to strengthen the competitiveness of
local products and support farmers.

Phase 2: Establishment of Essential Public Services

1. Education and Health

• Quality Education for All : Invest in primary, secondary, and vocational education to
upskill the local workforce. Training programs in management, entrepreneurship and
agriculture will be put in place to strengthen the autonomy of young people.
• Health care : Strengthen public health systems by building quality medical infrastructure
and training skilled health workers. The focus will be on primary care and universal
health coverage.

2. Sanitation and Water

• Sanitation services : Building urban and rural sanitation networks to prevent disease
outbreaks and improve living conditions.

projects to support agriculture and the domestic needs of rural and urban populations.

3. Justice and Governance

• Strengthening local governance : Developing transparent, accountable and effective
public institutions, with a focus on anti-corruption and impartiality in resource
management.
• Strengthening judicial mechanisms : Ensuring the independence of the judiciary and
the protection of fundamental rights, including the establishment of community dispute
resolution mechanisms.

Phase 3: Consolidation of Economic and Political Achievements

1. Economic and political stability

• Economic reforms: Implement fiscal, monetary, and trade policies to stabilize the
economy and ensure long-term growth. Tax reforms will strengthen the financing
capacity of public services.
• Strengthening democracy : Promoting an inclusive and pluralistic political system that
ensures the participation of all communities and equal rights. This implies the
organization of free and transparent elections.

2. Agriculture and Food Security

• Agricultural reconstruction and modernization : Develop a climate-resilient
agricultural sector, with a focus on sustainable agriculture, irrigation, and the use of
modern technologies to improve yields.
• Food security : Establish food security programs, including agricultural subsidies and
local food supply mechanisms.

3. Irrigation and Natural Resource Management Systems

• Irrigation infrastructure development : Building irrigation systems to ensure regular
and resilient agricultural production, especially in rural areas where agriculture is the
backbone of the economy.
• Sustainable management of natural resources : Promote sustainable agricultural and
industrial practices to protect local ecosystems while ensuring the rational use of natural
resources.

Phase 4: Urban Development and Spatial Planning

1. Sustainable urbanization

• Urban planning : Develop urban development plans that integrate affordable housing,
quality public infrastructure (education, health, transport) and green spaces to improve
the quality of urban life.
• Transportation Networks and Mobility : Creating efficient and accessible public
transportation networks, reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions.

2. Building Resilient Infrastructure

• Disaster-resilient infrastructure : Establish resilient urban structures, such as disaster resilient
buildings and roads, to avoid human and material losses in the event of a crisis.

Phase 5: Crisis Management and Emergency Response

1. Crisis management and contingency planning

of early warning and coordination mechanisms between national authorities, international
organizations and NGOs.
• Humanitarian support and protection of civilians : In the event of a crisis, deploy
humanitarian response teams and protection units to ensure the safety of vulnerable
populations.

2. Military intervention under international mandate

• Responsibility to Protect (R2P): If national authorities are unable to act, the United
Nations and international actors must be prepared to intervene militarily under a mandate
to protect civilians.
• Reconciling stakeholders : Facilitating dialogue between parties to conflict, and
establishing negotiation mechanisms to establish lasting peace and avoid escalation of
violence.

Post-crisis repair and reconstruction

• Reconstruction plan : After a crisis, it is essential to put in place a program to rebuild
infrastructure, support agriculture and restore public services.
• Reconciliation and transitional justice : Promote a transitional justice process to
address human rights violations, include victims, and encourage reconciliation through
truth commissions and special tribunals.

This structured action protocol , ranging from sustained economic development to crisis
management, aims to build a lasting peace based on economic stability, justice and
reconciliation. Each phase is designed to strengthen the foundations of a resilient state, capable
of preventing and managing crises while ensuring prosperity for its citizens. The international
community, national governments, and local actors will play a crucial role in implementing these
actions to ensure a future of peace and development for all.

Protocol of Action for the Construction of a Sustainable Peace Plan: A Framework for Economic
Development and Crisis Management
Sustainable peace is based on a process that encompasses several essential dimensions: economic
development, social justice, political inclusiveness, and crisis management. This memorandum
of action aims to create a coherent framework for the reconstruction of a country after a conflict,
with a particular focus on economic and social aspects. The goal is to prevent the risks of future
conflicts by establishing a solid foundation for sustainable development, shared prosperity, and
political stability. The process is structured in several phases, starting with sustained economic
development, followed by the provision of essential public services, then the consolidation of
economic and political gains, before focusing on urban development and, finally, effective crisis
management. Each phase is detailed to address the country's specific challenges while ensuring
lasting peace and resilience to future crises.

Phase 1: Sustained Economic Development and Poverty Reduction

Economic development is the pillar on which a country's long-term stability is based. In this
phase, the objective is to stimulate economic growth while reducing poverty and improving the
well-being of the population. One of the first steps is the development of an economic peer
equation, which consists of establishing a balanced and inclusive economic model. This model
must promote sustained growth in key sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and services.
Natural resources must be exploited in a rational manner, and industrialization should be
encouraged in sectors with high value-added. To achieve this, tax incentives and economic
policies must be put in place to attract investors while ensuring the protection of resources and
the reduction of inequalities.

One of the priorities for economic development is investment in critical infrastructure. The
construction of roads, airports, ports, and railways facilitates not only trade but also the mobility
of citizens, which is crucial for the integration of regions and the reduction of tensions. Similarly,
the energy sector, especially renewable energy, must be a priority to ensure energy self-sufficiency
and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. At the same time, agricultural projects must
be put in place to modernize agriculture, increase yields, and guarantee food security. A modern
irrigation system is crucial to maximizing agricultural production, especially in rural areas
affected by climate crises.

Finally, job creation is a key factor in reducing social tensions. Vocational training program,
especially for young people and women, help to increase employability and combat mass
unemployment, a factor that often leads to conflict. These jobs must be diversified and spread
throughout the country to avoid the concentration of wealth and opportunities in urban areas.

Phase 2: Establishment of Essential Public Services

Once the economic foundation has been laid, it is essential to establish efficient public services
that are accessible to all people. Education and health are the strategic sectors that determine the
quality of life of citizens and long-term social stability. In education, priority must be given to
expanding access to primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Schools must be built, and
educational content must be reformed to encourage innovation, critical thinking, and citizenship.
In addition, adult education program and technical training should be offered to fill gaps in
vocational skills, especially in rural and remote areas.

In the area of health, the aim is to strengthen public health systems so that they are able to cope
with the growing needs of a population undergoing reconstruction. This involves the
construction of community health centers and the training of health professionals, particularly
in rural areas. Accessibility to primary care must be a priority to prevent infectious diseases and
improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations. Immunization and disease prevention
programs are essential to fight epidemics and build community resilience to health crises.
Improving drinking water and sanitation infrastructure is also a priority, as access to clean
water and quality sanitation is a fundamental right and a determining factor in public health.
Projects to improve irrigation systems and ensure equitable access to water in rural and urban
areas must be funded and implemented in an inclusive manner.

Phase 3: Consolidation of Economic and Political Gains

The consolidation phase aims to stabilize the gains made during the economic development
phase. It is a question of ensuring the sustainability of these achievements through structural
reforms and inclusive and transparent governance. Robust tax reform and a stable monetary
system are essential to maintain economic balance. The State must establish fair and transparent
redistribution mechanisms in order to prevent economic and social inequalities.

Political governance is equally crucial to ensure the legitimacy of the government and avoid the
risk of conflict. This requires the establishment of strong democratic structures, where all
communities, including minorities, have their place and can express their concerns. Citizen
participation must be encouraged through free and transparent elections, public debates on
public policies, and equal access to opportunities.

In this phase, it is also crucial to reconcile communities through dialogue and transitional
justice program. Conflict resolution mechanisms, such as local mediation, can play a
central role in rebuilding social cohesion and building trust between citizens and authorities.

 

Phase 4: Urban Development and Spatial Planning

Urban development is a priority to ensure the evolution of cities and peri-urban areas. It must
be based on the principles of sustainability and integration. Urban planning must aim to provide
modern infrastructure that is accessible to all. This includes building affordable housing,
providing efficient public transportation, and managing public spaces. Cities must become poles
of economic development, encouraging innovation and ensuring a better quality of life for their
inhabitants.

Efficient transport networks, such as buses and trains, facilitate mobility, reducing the stresses
that can arise from congestion and inequalities in access to resources. At the same time,
sanitation and waste management projects must be put in place to avoid pollution and ensure
a healthy environment for citizens.

Phase 5: Crisis Management and Emergency Response

Finally, effective crisis management is essential to prevent future violent escalations. Early
warning mechanisms, combined with international coordination, must be put in place to
respond quickly to crisis situations. This should include peacekeeping forces, which can
intervene in sensitive areas before the situation escalates into armed conflict.

The use of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) would allow the United Nations and
international actors to act quickly to protect civilians in the event of serious threats, such as
genocide or war crimes. This mechanism must be accompanied by national reconciliation
initiatives, aimed at restoring confidence and promoting social justice.

The detailed action protocol for a sustainable peace plan is based on an integrated process of
economic development, essential public services, inclusive governance and crisis management.
Each phase relies on cooperation between national and international actors, ensuring a successful
transition to stable peace and resilience to future crises.
